We race as one was just a response to 2020 worldwide social issues. F1 doesn't have the authority and power to intervene with the hosting countries internal issues, they're not politicians, senators or parliament members. So, that was the best they could do to address it. Do F1 provide legal aid to oppressed people? no. That's what people on Facebook and Instagram have always complained on that slogan, and it seems that they only bring that human rights issues on certain countries, and ignore on others. They didn't even wish muslims on the holiday, only McLaren did so. F1 can't be intervened too much with political agenda because if so, it stops being a sport event, it'll be a political machine by some people with their own agenda.

I used to think "What's the point of advertising if it's not direct? If it's obscure enough that you won't know the advertiser when you see it, how can that possibly improve sales on products when the entire ad goes over someone's head?" I'm older and wiser now. Turns out that advertising can still be successful by certain measurable metrics even when it's very subtle. Marketing as a whole can be divided into two categories, investors and marks. The difference is that investors have a detached perspective with no obligation to believe in any of it, it's a mathematical formula that they apply to the product because it works and makes them money. Marks on the other hand don't recognize marketing for what it is and support the product by believing in the marketing with or without any validity _or_ by way of a false sense of validity or trust through branding recognition, which is where subliminal methods like seemingly unrelated color schemes, logos, and buzzwords can make their numbers. The point of the story is this: What a mark calls a "conspiracy theory", an investor calls "good business". Big money businesses that have been around long enough to know what they're doing (like tobacco for example) have very large budgets, years of data, and well trained (and paid) employees in marketing departments that _recognize_ what encourages someone to spend money on something. It's a safe bet that whatever methods they're using to push their product is making them money somehow, including fake companies/logos/slogans, otherwise they won't be doing it for very long before they try something else.

Here’s some corruption that wasn’t covered in the video: Mercedes’ largest shareholder is a Chinese state-owned automaker known as BAIC group, as well as the Kuwait Investment Authority, a government-operated Sovereign Wealth Fund. Stellantis, the holdings company that de-facto owns Ferrari to this day (only one half of the merger has shares in it), also owns Alfa Romeo, and Juventus, on top of all the other things within the FCA(Fiat-Chrysler) group, which probably explains why Ronaldo left Madrid for them, being that he was already clearly in with the high-ups at Ferrari, considering his awesome collection of them. Stellantis is the merger of Exor Holdings which is owned by the Agnelli family (descendants of Fiat founder), and PSA Group, who’s largest investors include Dongfeng which is a Chinese state-owned automaker, and the French State. And as per usual, BlackRock and Vanguard have large enough shares of almost all of these companies and teams that aren’t privately funded, to take control and make some weighty demands, by threatening to cause cascades of divestment and resulting price drops in their stocks, if they don’t meet BlackRock/Vanguard’s ESG (Environmental and Social Governance) demands, such as lowering emissions, putting out advertisements that promote globalist social values, publicly donating to various organizations that align with them, etc. The corruption rabbit hole in racing and in the car industry in general, goes very deep, and is a scary indication of our future in many other areas of life.

Never really got the whole issue with tobacco sponsorships. They were profitable, kept a bunch of great teams alive, made for some of the best liveries in the sport's history and basically everyone is well aware how harmful cigarettes are, but they are still gonna keep doing it anyways. As for the whole "think of the children" argument, I'll let you know that my grandpa started smoking at 9 without watching F1 and I was a kid in the golden age of tobacco sponsorships in F1 but the first time I ever put a cigarette in my mouth was during my last year of university because of stress and ever since I've only smoked pipe and cigars very sporadically. So in a world where even some doctors smoke a pack or two a day, I can assure you that F1 didn't account for anything in the grand scheme of things. The fact all that lost money killed off a lot of championship efforts for the smaller teams and made everyone turn to NFTs and such for funding really just goes to show it was a change for the worse.

Hi there! Hope you're doing fine in these dark times. What happening to you is injustice and who's doing it to you is unjust and barbaric; but I still don't get the point of eradicating every footprint of something that just happens to be from a country in literally any unrelated arena as being helpful in improving your situation. It's mere lip service, and is unjust to sportsmen and athletes who have nothing to do with a situation they can't control. How exactly does banning an athlete or a particular organization with no relation to a bad government help you in your cause? It's just bad sportsmanship at this point ( not critiquing you, but the people who play politics in your name). Like it's just such an irritably childish mindset, which just blanket charges an entire, diverse group of people with no rhyme or reason. And above it is the hypocrisy of such people to take the ethical high ground. Have they not been in wars in the past? Have they not played sports at the time? I just reached out to know how an actual victim of this crisis would feel, and not someone who claims to be hurt on their behalf.
